Martin Coetzee

Martin Coetzee (born 12 October 1988) is a South African-born cricketer who plays international cricket for Hong Kong.

Career Coetzee made his Twenty20 debut for Gauteng in the 2018 Africa T20 Cup on 14 September 2018. He made his first-class debut for Gauteng in the 2018–19 CSA 3-Day Provincial Cup on 4 October 2018.

Coetzee's career in South Africa stalled in 2019 after he was released from his provincial contract. Contemplating retirement, he relocated to Hong Kong for non-cricketing reasons when his wife accepted a teaching position. He initially intended to play cricket only recreationally.

Upon joining the Hong Kong Cricket Club, he discovered a highly organized and competitive local cricket scene with a clear pathway to international representation through a three-year residency qualification. This inspired him to pursue a career with the national team. After completing his residency, Coetzee established himself as a top-order batter for Hong Kong. Outside of his national duties, he works as a professional coach.
